OK, it is finally official! Verizon will be offering the Treo 650. They just added it to their website as "coming soon". This puts all the rumors to rest.

Now the question is...

WHEN???

Verizon Treo 650 Link

Can someone decipher the bluetooth disclaimer? Will I be able to use this as a wireless modem for a laptop (with a data plan)?

Verizon Wireless is messed up. I waited and waited for any kind of word that they would carry this phone, but nothing. Then I call customer service and tell them point blank that because they're not carrying the 650, I am going to port to Cingular. IF YOU TELL ME YOU'RE GOING TO CARRY THIS PHONE AT SOME POINT IN THE NEAR FUTURE, I WILL STAY. Nothing. So I ported to Cingular.

I'm not unhappy about it. It doesn't appear that the Verizon 650 will have EV-DO (they're not touting it at least), and I've become addicted to the EDGE speeds I get with Cingular.

Oh well...you guys enjoy your 650s.

Finally!
Now I can start planning on buying a case, bluetooth headset, etc.
What a great time to have a NE2.

I'm quite surprised to see this from Verizon so quickly. I was really expecting them carrying it sometime in the Fall. I guess they see how many are being sold and pushed to get it out faster. Of course, coming soon could be July.

They probably got tired of phone calls asking when it was coming out and all of the speculation on these boards.

I'm surprised to see it so soon too but then again, Sprint had the Treo 650 in November and Cingular had it shortly there after. Even if Verizon released it tomorrow they'd still be five months behind.
